Businesswoman Zahra, 20, her 18-year-old sister and 39-year-old mother had been holed up in the Afghan capital after fleeing their home city last week.

She told the Mirror how the extremists had vowed to find and kill her for running her own business and campaigning for women’s rights, and made a direct plea to US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Boris Johnson for help.
